so my cashout didn't come through. if you read my last blog, i said i would probably quit poker, but with the extra cash now i couldn't beat the temptation to play again so i played some 10nl, ran like god, and i'm rolled for 25nl!! woohoo!! great.. i was actually going to study hard this semester but i guess i just run bad at life in general, seeing as how this poker thing just getting ready to ruin yet another semester for me.
god i'm so undisciplined it's almost tragic.
oh by the way, one bright side of life is that i'm somehow working out/running every day and results are actually beginning to show =D
well that's a nice way to wrap up this summer i suppose... i traveled all across the states, spent thousands of my parents' money and poker wise, i cashed out 1k and i'm more or less right back to where i started the summer.. 25nl. haha...
here's to another semester, i guess.
GL LP!
fun night
collegesucks, Aug 16 2008
i played almost 0 poker online after my last entry, but i did manage to sneak into Harrah's New Orleans with a few of my friends. I turn 21 on the 27th so we needed to pull some tricks to get me into the casino. After deliberating over many possibilities, including one where I borrow an id from a friend who wasn't with us (didn't turn out to be a good idea since he got the new id two weeks ago when he was almost completely bald and i have a full head of long, beautiful hair..), we decided to just have one of my friends go in there with his id, and then have another friend bring it out to me waiting outside a different entrance. ROFL the system is CIRCUMVENTABLE
so yeah I only had 100 in cash that i found lying around the house (lol..) so i had no choice but to buy in for 50bbs at the 1/2 table. FOURTH hand of the session i pick up Q8ss from the SB and EVERYBODY (ten player table) limps so I obv insta fistpump limp.
flop comes Q9Kss which was like the nuts to me after having to play so tight thus far. I lead, my left calls, and then it folds to a black guy with a cigarette tucked in his ear, who 3x's my bet. it folds around to me and i'm like, okayyy fuck this and i shoved for 50bbs and i covered him... the guy next to me thinks for a second and folds his T-hi flush/straightdraw and the raiser snap calls with K7o. ONE TIME!!
and yeah he obv sucks out. fuck my life. i toss the dealer the 2 dollars i have left and sheepishly get up from the table, wondering what the hell i would do with the rest of my time here.
i was thinking about asking one of my friends for a stake but then i realized what a nit he was... but i went over to ask him anyways. and RIGHT THEN, he gets up from his seat with his fists in the air in celebration cuz he won a bad beat jackpot for 5k at the 1/2 table he was playing! LOL!!! hahaha
he happily forks over another hundred (50bbs again, woohooo fucking nit) which i triple in 30 mins at the same table i lost at with the awesome image that i built in four hands, getting paid off with every top pair good kicker or better.
unfortunately for me however, the black guy who took my chips lost his money to some rock nit old guy with a massive stack. his final hand he called off his last 20bb with K6o on a 557r flop vs. JJ. fuck my life.
oh and this one guy hid his AA very well...
ep raises, guy smooth calls in position, heads up to the flop.
flop comes rags, ep checks, he checks.
turn comes another rag card, ep checks, he checks.
river pairs the turn rag, ep checks, he... checks? WAT?
oh and a different friend won a 1.5kish pot at the 2/5 with AA vs. a J8 on a T96hh board. so he treated us to breakfast at 5am.
...
online pokerwise i think i'm done.
i don't have the enthusiasm to play more than 100 hands in the same session anymore.
i can't stay focused so yeah i'm prob going to cash out the 150 or so i have left.
GL guys
I gotta get back to translating this graduate dissertation on land economics from korean to english. that i can do. poker i cannot.
lol life update
collegesucks, Aug 06 2008
how the fuck am i shit broke and still manage to pay for road trips with 4 other chicks to atlanta for 3 nights and four days?
i work fucking magic obviously
i cashed out my entire roll now except 100 dollars and i gotta say 2nl is fucking hard if you play only like 200 hands every two weeks and you run colder than the fucking alpines
hahaha
whatever im drinking now with whatever money i have left in atlanta haha ship the degenness
i love you lp. fucking represent!! haha
GL
edit
on a serious note, i decided to actually try to go to all of my classes this next semester. it's supposed to be my last year at school and i really want to leave it on a good note, even though after my last year's abysmal performance (1 C 2 Ds 3Fs lol fuck yeah), i got my full ride fucking cut off and now i have to pay for school (omg what the fuck unbelievable considering i am of korean descent =O)
plus i more or less have a girlfriend now and i really want to show her what i can really achieve if i try instead of showing her what a lazy fuck i am.
i also i got job with my friend's dad, who wants to train me so i can manage all of his business interests from now on (lol wtf are you srs? hahahahaha)
anyways,
in conclusion, poker sux (or i suck at poker), and life goes on hahaha
fuck
drink less imo
edit2
it's fucking difficult to fix all of your grammatical mistakes in your blog while you're still wasted as fuck...
at least the computer at this rental house doesn't have pokerstars installed or my 100 dollars would be reduced to shit as i try my luck at 100nl with 1 buyin lolololol
hahaha oh wait i think i can install it
i will update you guys on my progress hahahahaha
lol duh obviously
collegesucks, Jul 17 2008
im so ridiculously bad at this game it's not even funny
i cashed out 1k to sort of compensate for all the time i spent on poker this summer and left myself 400 to play nl10 this summer lol
woooww even if i four table i just play carelessly and fail to develop any useful reads. and if i multitable i just randomly spew around a ton (example: omg i misclicked minraise... now i have to bluffshove this river omgomg)
so in conclusion:
a. i can't nit it up cuz i suck at it
b. i can't play laggy either cuz i suck at reading hands
so what the hell are my options lol
it obv does not help that im:
a. lazy
b. utterly careless
b. mentally elsewhere all the time
c. korean
brb going to look for something else to do with my life, since i am by nature incompatible with this game
on a different note, this chick is so obviously interested in me no joke lol shipppit i still got itt hahahaha no job no life no future all game baby hahahahahahahaha
/wrists
mid-year resolutions?
collegesucks, Jul 02 2008
thoughts/goals for july and the coming semester
I. amount of time spent playing poker > amount of time spent thinking about poker
II. 100NL
besides a monster day w/ 10k hands in mid june =O, i barely played this month. i was traveling with family most of the time so i couldn't get really into a decent sessioning mindset. played some while traveling in california and made 16 buyins at 25NL before dumping half of it at 50NL back at home =/
im staying in indianapolis right now and im thinking how much my life needs order right now. i figure poker has to become just more than some activity that i enjoy doing every once in a while like casual games of starcraft.
maybe if i dedicated a certain period of time during the day to play, as if i were scheduled to attend classes or something, i might approach my sessions with a different mindset to begin with. the sessions would then seem too important to dick/spew around in. idk if this analogy is sufficent though, since i suck hard at going to class/staying awake -_-a
idk... i just don't want to joke around with the game anymore. i've never practiced anything seriously to get better at it, so i don't know how this will work out, but if it doesn't, i'll just do a flip with whatever's left of my bankroll with anyone who'd be interested and be done with the game. i'll let you know when that happens.
the path i've walked
collegesucks, May 06 2008
i made my first cash deposit about a year ago in the summer of 2007 for 50 dollars. popped open two tables of 25NL FR and proceeded to donk it up to 120, at which point i moved up to 100NL and stacked it all off in the final hand of AQs vs AA pre... (i still remember that guy's acct name: LaPoCaFlame, that Korean NIT). a few uneventful months passed, in which i deposited 200 dollars on FTP and lost it all playing playing 10NL FR.
Decemeber
my friend had cashed for about 1.50 in an MTT with the last 50 cents he had left. he ground that up to $75 shortstacking 5NL and gave me $25 dollars to play with. i fired up 4 tables of 2NL and proceeded to go broke again. but in between i had built up a good amount which i periodically donated to my friend who'd neilly his BR up in the low stakes up to the 300-400 range and then go broke, get his $20-$30 stake from me and repeat.
January
at this point i was pretty much broke but my friend sent me $100 to play with and i figured i wasn't getting any better playing anywhere else so i started taking poker v v v seriously @ 2NL 6max. at the same time i started visiting LP religiously and reading and thinking about poker pretty much all day long. this was when i started accepting the fact that bankroll management is the very foundation of successful poker.
February/March
10NL 6max aka Hell Difficulty
April
although i was thinking about nothing other than poker the past few months, i really didn't start putting in the hands though up until 25NL and April. And that was when all my hard work started bringing results. for one, by this point i figured this semester at school was already shot to shit, so might as well focus on the one thing that's going ok in my life. fortunately i started getting a feel for my edge over the microstakes game by this point.
May
today. what a glorious day. i finally bade my farewell to the "micro" tab on PStars and moved up to 50NL. pretty fucking stoked right now and extremely hopeful for the summer.
Semester in Review:
+ Show Spoiler +

Some Hands
it's always refreshing/fun to go over hands from the past, especially when you're looking at the hand with an improved understanding of the game.
very first hand I posted on LP:

biggest pot lost:

on a side note, i'm probably down about $300 staking my degen friends but they do cash out whenever they can to pay for our friday night binge sessions so i suppose i consider it even.
well that's my poker career so far. as pleasing as the way the br looks right now, im probably even more satisfied by how much i've improved at the game over the past few months. thanks for all the love and support LP.. couldn't have done it without you.
s'pose that's all for now =)
-Jino
oh btw. 50NL please don't fuck me in the ass.. k thx
deja vu: past couple of weeks
collegesucks, Apr 23 2008
LOL 25NL
things were going great until i hit the 8.3k hand mark.. i was supposed to move up that week to 50NL.. shucks
started tilting obviously. i got really impatient probably cuz i was soo close to moving up. trying to win too many pots... sometimes ended up not pretty because i started bluffing for stacks (yeah DONT do that).
blew half my roll before i decided to move down
and LOL WTF 10NL
beat it again at a ridiculous rate:
on another note,
school is fucking me over badly. i got into college on a full ride (tuition, room and board plus a 2k+ cash allowance every semester) and i completely fucked it up. i know i failed two classes this semester plus im not doing to well in the other ones. and for stupid reasons too, like not figuring out when the tests are and missing them completely o_O
sometimes i feel like i can't play properly because i'm not taking care of everything else about my life. it's definitely harder to be in the 'zone' with all those burdens on my shoulders. so i'm pretty sure if i take care of the critical things first, like trying to graduate, getting a job/steady income, i can really focus on building a bankroll with the extra time i have with a mind that's hell of a lot more cheerful and relaxed.
finals are coming up. can't wait for summer. i think it's time to hit them books and call up friends for adderall yay.
and goddd 25NL don't fuck me over again..
do it for me 1 timeeeee GOGOGO
rofl swongs
collegesucks, Apr 09 2008
so 25NL didn't work out too well and instead of shortstacking 1kNL i followed my poker conscience and moved back down to 10NL T_T
i opened up 12 tables of fury and went on to S/M assrape the game at 20BB/100 over 4.7k in 3 days and now i again have a robust roll for 25NL
i tried to apply the concept of isolation and pot control as much as possible which often meant choosing not to cbet the flop with medium to weak hands and value betting the turn and river. Position became a lot more important because not only did it provide me with more information about those that acted before me, but it also gave me the ability to manipulate the size of the pot depending on the strength of my hand.
knowing that, 10NL was pretty ez game... to think i thought 10NL was ever difficult ROFL
i think i should be fine moving up until people start 3betting me light and picking fights with me heh...
GG and FUCK YOU 10NL HAHAHAHA
25NL first week...
collegesucks, Apr 02 2008
PT3 is awesome i love it! and it's free right now if you weren't aware...
lol things went ok. i thought the tables were a lot softer than 10NL like a lot of people said but yeah definitely the swings are bigger and takes some getting used to. i guess it's the effect of playing a 20bi rule as a guy who just started out playing a few months ago.
last couple hundred hands were as sick as they come... losing AA vs. J9 (turns a gutshot straight on a 9-hi flop, where he open shoved -__-;; ), KK vs. AK, 2 KK vs. AA, QQ vs KT, flush vs. boat, set vs. oversets. i tried 10 tabling cascade view and it worked out great (not being results-oriented at all, obv). i think i can make a lot of the standard plays mechanically and i can always drag action tables out to the side (<- an effective tip from kim).
one more bad session like this and im back down to 10NL T__T but i'd rather shortstack 1knl than go back, srsly...
started off the session with this hand:

hahaha FU BITCH your ass got trapped trying to save itself!
he got owned so bad and he knows it hahahahaha... i love putting my mouse over the call button and repeatedly clicking it before it even appears because for some reason when you do that, they ALWAYS shove and you NEVER lose. i mean it's like the easiest call ever but how do you just know with your entire being that he's going to shove? maybe the clicking induces it.
lololol... not really a brag just want to share or express that feeling somehow. i'm sure a lot of people can identify with it.
and then of course, the session went to shit... why is it that i always play so much better at the beginning of the session than maybe an hour or two into it?
some late night shin ramen will cheer me up
a quote from one of my most favorite movies of all time (Tajja):
What did I say gambling was? That's right... gambling is like riding waves. If you fall, you can only go up!
too bad the guy was a fuckin fish T__T
moved up
collegesucks, Mar 29 2008
after months of 10NL fuckfest i finally moved up =D
10NL graph when i get back to my comp
i think i ran at like 3.5ptbb/100 over the 30-40k hands which is pretty much a nightmare playing the low stakes but i finally FUCKING GOT OUT WHOOOHOOOO... i played like 300 hands per day on average but lol w/e
FUK YOU 10NL IM NEVER COMING BACK
ps
vodka + poker = fearlessness + run like god
EDIT
lol made a cool hundred so far wow moving up feels great!! haha
wait it might be the alcohol... lol
good times
